Recently I've started helping people out more on astral projecting on Reddit (r/astralprojection under the name Dehydrayton) and decided to transfer it here after I started better understanding this reality and putting together the information I learned over the years, combined with my personal experiences along the ongoing journey of spiritual evolution. I created this technique myself; I'm calling it the Drayton Manifest Technique as it's my last name (intentionally named the DMT Method ).

So this works because of the understanding that astral projection is a simple matter of a perspective switch (phasing), holding your focus on the nonphysical reality more than the physical reality; this fact is what determines whether you can project at will. To understand this better, what happens when you daydream in class, enter a dream during sleep, astral project, remote view, or imagine/visualize something? No matter the time it took, there was a moment in which your conscious mind was zeroed in and was completely immersed by what the mind was thinking. This is what is meant when it's stated that reality = your perception. It's how lucid dreaming occurs: You go to sleep and the subconscious forms a scenario based on your desires, fear, and takes account of your waking awareness level. Then as the dream progresses you focus more on the details of that reality, fully immersing you which keeps you in the dream longer while allowing you to change what happens within it (because you are on a thought responsive base-wave frequency this being specifically the 4th of what are called dimensions). It's also how manifesting and law of attraction on this base-wave frequency (our denser, 3rd dimension) works on a practical level, the things you chose to focus on and "immerse yourself with" are the things that will manifest into your reality in waking life, good or bad. This has even more weight when understood from a person that knows about the vibrational/sound/electromagnetic/fixed geometric nature of the universe and everything within it allowing everyone to tap into it as we are connected to everything ("As Above, So Below.")

What this technique will do is put you in the hypnagogic state/void state/Monroe's focus 10/mind awake body asleep which are all the same thing. It's the state of awareness that allows you to separate the consciousness from the physical body allowing you to experience a boundless form of being, only limited by what the individual can think of (the human body is a dense vessel to hold the individual's consciousness yet is still always connected to the source of what created the electromagnetic structure of the entire universe). I speculate that the emphasis on intent allows separation because the emotional attachment to a certain goal you want to acheive is the determining factor in whether you manifest that desire into reality, and is fundamentally the decision-maker in whether you can do something in life and is what the word intent means. This technique that I created is something we all do in various situations, but I had an epiphany 2/25/18 at 7pm allowing me to articulate how to consciously take control of this energy/vibrational state/conscious awareness/akashic records directly for self and spiritual development, astral projection, or even just bringing more positivity into your life by attracting similar resonant frequencies so I highly recommend giving this a try if other ap attempts were unsuccessful.

The DMT Method:

1. Listen to white noise, your environment, or binurual beats in a comfortable position that you know won't cause you to fall asleep (if using any type of audio, have it loud enough to make it hard to fall asleep to, but quiet enough to not make you deaf lol)

2. Do 4-7-8 Breathing until you notice yourself naturally return back to normal breathing. This is a balancing act as this will make you fall asleep, so the key is to stay aware long enough to reach the required state to project, which you'll get better at as well as induce the state quicker as a result of doing this method so see any failed separations as XP for your stats like a game. This is how some projectors mess up their practice; they'll change their breathing pattern abruptly after becoming aware of breathing automatically which causes you to dip in and out of the mind awake body asleep state. (because you keep refocusing on the physical instead of the nonphysical, which anchors you from separating so to fix this simply keep doing the 4-7-8 breathing until you breathe normal naturally.)

3. When you notice you stopped the breathing patterns, explore what your intent was in the first place (what was today's goal after separating?). Really take in consideration how awesome it would be to do that thing that made you wanna project in the place at this particular moment, immerse yourself by playing out what you'd do when separating essentially. It can be literally anything, as long as it's something you ACTUALLY wanna do whether it's insightful, emotional, sexual, or just really fun.

Wow this was well put together in a way I could understand, I may have to go search what 4-7-8 breathing consist of , which I have a feeling I already do it when I try to project but like you said we try to take control instead of let it be, I shall try this tonight, thanks.

I've seen the 4-7-8 breathing promoted by dr Weil. Breath in through your nose for a count of 4, hold in for a count of 7, breath out through your mouth with a noisy "whoosh" for a count of 8. The speed is less important; the ratio is important.

As many other "techniques", this is another one that tries to induce a trance state through self hypnosis. Obviously the aura of Eastern mysticism (push your tip of your tongue behind your upper teeth) distracts, and the "whoosh" is counterproductive to achieving the trance. There is also an ominous "don't do more than 4 consecutive cycles!" warning.

The meat of this technique is to firstly raise your frontal lobe activity, by focusing and generating a tension, then brusquely lower your frontal lobe activity, by switching to relaxation. This two step process is the one that induces a trance conducive to psychic phenomena (as some neuroscientists found out).

(because you keep refocusing on the physical instead of the nonphysical, which anchors you from separating so to fix this simply keep doing the 4-7-8 breathing until you breathe normal naturally.)

For me this problem is the most difficult part of conscious projection. The trouble is that changing the pattern abruptly is something that just happens rather than being deliberate. The way I experience it is essentially the not thinking about elephants problem. Becoming aware of breathing automatically is logically coupled to refocusing on the physical. Sometimes I feel like the realization that breathing has changed wasn't even possible without physical focus as a pre-requisite.

I have only ever found two routes to follow upon realizing breathing has changed. The first route is do nothing, and it results in a breath hold that messes up the state. The second being do something which is also a change in the breathing pattern that messes up the state. Just going back to automatic breathing is not something I can do in that moment, it isn't something I can do in normal waking life either. Any tips?

Thaomas, you are too mechanical in your approach to this practice.

You begin with a focus on the 4-7-8 process. Somewhere along the line, you go back to your normal breathing. But that initial focus on 4-7-8 has consumed your entire conscious focus enough that the shift has already started to occur. This is when you set an intent and go. I see this being the time that you yourself kick into "right brain"/mechanical mode and ruin all the progress you just made. From reading many of your posts here on the Pulse in the past, I see your problem is that for some reason "you can't let go". that's what you need to work on. Every technique you try has the same results because the same "block" is plaguing you again and again.

Focus on these 3 words "Relax, Release and Let Go". Once you can do that, any technique will work for you. You just need to get over that hump first.

Thank you for posting this. I am sure that what you are saying will be an eye opener to a lot of readers.Your statement is at the core of my understanding of what NP is and if asked to formulate it I would use similar words. Consciousness in NP (or astral) and therefore the existence of NP is a matter of perception (or I would say state of mind although someone here corrected me for using this phrase).

In my limited out of physical adventures the key factor has always been a strong belief that the NP dimension is as real as the physical one (albeit governed by different rules). In my case my rare successful attempts were achieved in the hypnopompic state and after several days of mental preparation (affirmations). I have not done much in a way of breathing and your post suggested to me that I should. Thanks again for this

There is also an ominous "don't do more than 4 consecutive cycles!" warning.

yeah, I would like to try this method but I'm wary of these warnings about doing too much of this breathing. Does anyone know what the supposed negative effects are meant to be? Some cursory googling reveals a bunch of stuff but who knows what to believe.

Maybe the "risk" is that you project! And dr. Weil doesn't want you to do that, because he wants you to wake up.
